Shaneo,

Fair play to you. It doesn't surprise me that this would happen in a lot of Dublin pubs (I live here too.)

I play in a local GAA club every week. Every now and again we have a row when the TV Volume goes up, but mostly when I complain the telly goes down again, so the session continues. If not I will leave and not come back to play. It would be a pity because our session has been going for 10 years now. Thankfully it hasn't happened in a while.
